The Caulfield Cup is always an amazing spectacle, with some of the best horses in the world battling it out over 2400 metres for $5 million in prize money. Taking place at Caulfield Racecourse each year, this Group 1 race is one of the toughest and richest handicap events in the world.

The Caulfield Cup forms the major double of the season with the Melbourne Cup, and is also a key lead up race for “the race that stops a nation”. Run since 1879, the Caulfield Cup has a long and rich history in Australian racing and has produced some of the best horses the country has to offer. This race is the pinnacle event of the Caulfield Cup Carnival, and the major attraction of Caulfield Cup Day.
